The mens adult team has always failed expectations (qualification hopes).

Club stage is what it is. Our team made to CL group stage once in 1997 and before or after that, not much else.
If your country is doing well in the women's version it will definitely inspire the male team to do better, good luck to Finland in the next Euros, I hope that they do well.

And btw I love the national Sport in Finland, it's my 2nd favourite Sport behind Football of course.

Croatia has played 120 minutes every game of the tournament so hopefully they don't tire out. Can't wait for this game.

I'd say I just want a good close game but I'd be lying. Croatia needs to TAKE IT, it's not all that often that even the best teams get this opportunity. Hoping for the best

Croatia is the underdog here, all the pressure is on France now as the heavy faves, and trust me you don't want to be the fave in a world cup final i think

I'm rooting for the underdogs who are playing their first WC final and who happen to be our neighbours. Come on Croatia!!

Default France - Croatia 15th July World Cup Grand Final thread
Arise, children of the Fatherland,
The day of glory has arrived!
Against us, tyranny's
Bloody standard is raised, (repeat)
Do you hear, in the countryside,
The roar of those ferocious soldiers?
They're coming right into your arms
To cut the throats of your sons, your women!

To arms, citizens,
Form your battalions,
Let's march, let's march!
Let an impure blood
Water our furrows!


Viva La France, nothing can go wrong for them today


with world class player Mbappe, who will be winning the golden ball this year, and a dream transfer of 200 million to real madrid


Didier Deschamps already world champions as a player, but now also as manager

He's a mess when he plays for Liverpool but he's been pretty solid this World Cup.

I predict a pretty dull, boring game. Even scoreless until penalties. Hope I am wrong.
